Zen is one of the most important microarchitectures in the history of the x86 ecosystem. Not only is it the reigning champion in many x64 benchmarks, but it is also the architecture that enabled AMD’s dramatic rise in CPU marketshare over the past eight years: from 10% when the first Zen processor was launched, to 25% at the introduction of Zen 5.

Senior engineers: Please prep for interviews (josvisser.substack.com)
This week I am writing to you from my adopted home country of Spain. People who are not from Europe might not realize this, but Spain is the Florida of Europe, in the sense that many older Europeans of some means spend some or all of their retired life on the sunny Mediterranean coasts of this lovely country. My parents did so too and that’s how I ended up here.

Short Conversations with Poets: Dong Li (mcsweeneys.net)
There is so much beyond words. There are actually no adequate words for the full complexity of human feeling, for the arcane details of a distant memory, or the colors of the sky.
